[g-a-devel] Fire Vox [ was Re: Orca and Firefox ]

[Aaron Leventhal <aaronlev moonset net>]

For browsing on Linux, people can try the Fire Vox extension. I've CC'd 
the author, Charles Chen, who can help with any questions.

Note, I haven't heard any feedback on how well it works. A few people 
should give it a try and let the list know if it helps them. It's 
possible to redefine the keys if you don't like the default set up.

Here it is: https://webspace.utexas.edu/chencl1/clc-4-tts/
